Of all the rooms we love to give a little refresh, the kitchen has to be my favorite. But you don’t need a massive renovation to completely change the vibe!
A gallery wall is such a simple and budget-friendly way to add a ton of personality. I just love how it can turn any kitchen into a stylish and inviting hub for the family.
Whether your kitchen is huge and airy or a tiny, cosy nook, I’ve gathered some of the most gorgeous ideas to get you started.
Gallery Walls for Small Kitchens
A gallery wall in a smaller kitchen is a total game-changer, making such a huge visual statement. You really don’t need a ton of art to create a beautiful backdrop.
Honestly, just three or four well-chosen additions can do the trick! If you want to make it feel super on-trend, I’d recommend adding some botanical prints, which are a huge favorite among designers right now.
Finding the wall space can sometimes be a challenge in a small kitchen, so it’s a great idea to think vertically and use the height of the room.

Make sure your gallery wall feels like a visual part of your kitchen’s overall design.
Creating a Vibe in a Larger Space
The gallery wall doesn’t have to be physically inside the kitchen to feel like it’s part of the design, especially with open-plan living becoming so popular.
Placing the gallery wall adjacent to the kitchen is a wonderful choice if you’re hoping to create a larger, more curated look. You could create a gallery wall behind the dining table and let it flow beautifully into the kitchen space.
Whether it’s in the hallway next to the kitchen or in the dining area that connects to the kitchen and living room, a gallery wall in an open setting adds so much charm to the whole area.

Nailing Your Style and Theme
I think the best way to start creating a gorgeous gallery wall is to really nail down the theme and style you’re going for. This gives you a clear direction and makes shopping for wall art so much easier.
A good starting point is to look at the existing style of your kitchen. Even if you want to mix things up with your gallery wall, keeping one element consistent, like the frames, really helps to bring all the different pieces together.
Black and white photos and prints are a fantastic choice for minimal and contemporary kitchens, while artwork with hints of blue makes a huge impact in coastal or beach-style spaces.
